I'm in! Don't have an endura and I think honestly the most beat up knife I ever had was my first emerson. Got it from a very nice guy in Singapore, paid only a hundred bucks. It was an older generation cerakoted CQC-8, with a V ground beveled edge. Bought it, used it, loved it. Unfortunately I ended up selling it to pay for repairs on my car way long ago.
I miss that chunky cool son of a gun. Need to get another commander when I have the money...

Awe, that poor baby. The knife had a little boo-boo. Boo-hoo, get over it.
The knife looks fine. Tons of life left, in fact, she's not even broke-in yet.
Thank you for the great chance. I would love that Endura. I only have a Tenacious which I edc and absolutely love, but would like something with better steel.
Here are my most beat-up knives:
Inoxyd Standard - Broken backsprings and can opener, loose scales
Wenger Soldat - Just age, lots of age
Victorinox Ambassador - far worse than it looks, ran over by a bus probably, scales are warped, toothpick is ruined, orange peeler is bent so bad it won't get back in place and turned over the blade blocking both... you cannot close it...
Mora 511 - rusted to heck, overly sharpened, scrattched handles
Victoria Climber - broken blades and backsprings
Victorinox Watch Case Opener - broken blade, beat up scales

Great GAW and yes, that endura has a ton of life left! Being in the sharpening business I see a ton of beat up knives... Here's one most recent, a CRKT ken onion that he sharpened at 8.5 dps. Fortunately I was able to give it a regrind and clean it up.
Or my Junglas:
I'm definitely in! Thanks bro!

I don't have an Endura right now and would love to have the one your giving away. Looks like it's just getting broken in...
It's a bit different with traditionals but this knife has been heavily sharpened, has oxidation everywhere, including a few rust pits. I like it way more than the same knife new in the tube!

That knife has what we like to call CHARACTER! Purchaser should have thanked you for the "mod" you did.
Not an entry, just dropped in to tell you that you offered up a perfectly acceptable piece of saleable merchandise.
I hope you give people some perspective on realistic expectations. Very generous of you.

Oopsy, my bad.. only now I read the "US only" bit. I have to pull out of this.
Best of luck guys.
I'm in. My best beat to hell knife was a Martindale 18 inch bush pattern machete used in the Peace Corps in Western Samoa. A few years of clearing brush to plant taro, dings from basalt rock, pig blood, sea water and breadfruit sap made for a nice flat black patina and an interesting history. Anyone else who worked in a rain forest forest tropical environment will own a similar "hard use knife"; there are no "safe queens" in the village. No pictures, because it was left behind to be used by the family I stayed with. 
I am now in the USA, so I hope I qualify.
